MTN Nigeria has commenced the public offer of its 575 million shares to retail investors at N169 per share. This offer will last from December 1, 2021 to December 14, 2021.

Retail investors are non-professional investors, i.e. a person who does not pursue investing as a career is a retail investor. 

According to the mobile telecommunications company official website, the offer “is in line with MTN Group’s commitment to reduce its shareholding in MTN Nigeria from 78.8% to 65% over time. The objective of the Offer is to provide as many Nigerian retail investors as possible with an opportunity to own shares in MTN Nigeria”.

MTN further explains that “the minimum application is 20 shares and multiples of 20 shares thereafter, so 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120…etc. There is no maximum, however, the amount of shares allotted will be within the offer size of up to 575,000,000 ordinary shares.”

Shares are units of ownership of a particular company. In other words, when you are a shareholder of a company, you have a percentage of ownership in the company. This percentage of the company’s capital entitles the holder to a proportion of its profits.

Since the cost of one share has been pegged at N169, it means getting the minimum of 20 shares will cost N3,380.
